So, your science teacher has given your class the classic "mousetrap car" assignment: to make, design and build a small vehicle powered by the snapping action of a mousetrap to make your car travel as far as possible. If you want to come out ahead of all the other students in your class, you'll need to make your car as efficient as possible so you can squeeze every last inch out of your "engine". With the right approach, it's possible to streamline your car's design for maximum distance using only common home materials. | So, your science teacher has given your class the classic "mousetrap car" assignment: to make, design and build a small vehicle powered by the snapping action of a mousetrap to make your car travel as far as possible.
